Andouille Chicken Sausage with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
On a quiet morning like this, there’s something deeply comforting about preparing a meal that balances hearty flavors with the simplicity of roasting. This dish, with its smoky andouille and tender Brussels sprouts, is a testament to the beauty of combining just a few quality ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Andouille chicken sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting.
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated. Tip: For extra crispiness, make sure the sprouts are dry before tossing.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they’re not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the sprouts for even browning.
- Add the sliced Andouille chicken sausage to the baking sheet, distributing it evenly among the sprouts.
- Continue roasting for another 15 minutes, or until the sausage is heated through and the sprouts are caramelized. Tip: Keep an eye on the sprouts to prevent burning, as oven temperatures can vary.
- Remove from the oven and let it sit for 2 minutes before serving. Tip: This brief rest allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Perfectly caramelized Brussels sprouts offer a sweet contrast to the smoky, spicy sausage, creating a dish that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious. Serve it over a bed of creamy polenta or alongside a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
